OPINION: Sure, you can travel to Copenhagen and dine on bee larvae at top-ranked restaurant Noma, but wouldn’t you prefer a good cheeseburger?
Once again, the organization behind the World’s Best 50 Restaurants list has announced its annual picks. And once again, I’m shocked that my favorite dining spot didn’t make the cut.
Instead, they expect the honorees to include a place like Noma, a Copenhagen restaurant known for its cutting-edge and farm-centric cuisine — its summer menu included dishes such as stuffed zucchini with bee larvae and a dessert made from woodruff, a flowering plant. Naturally, it took this year’s top spot.
As someone who has written about food for many years, I know these restaurants serve a purpose. They advance ideas in cuisine — and those ideas often trickle down to the rest of the culinary world . They also allow us opportunities to experience life at its most excessive height. Which brings me back to Chelsea Square, a restaurant I typically visit a couple of times a week, spending anywhere from $10 to $30 for a meal per person. I know exactly what to order — they make the best tuna-salad sandwich on the planet and the Greek specialties, as at many diners, are always hearty and well-prepared. I also know to sit in the section with my favorite waiter, German, who regales me with stories about his days working as a server on cruise ships.
